Scotland Street Volume 16, Chapter 48 Rust on garlic

over 1 year in TheScotsman

Bruce surveyed the garlic plants. He had never seen it growing before: garlic, in his experience, came wrapped in cellophane or worked into neatly-plaited strings. But of course it had to grow somehow, and this was it, these rather unexpected tall shoots that, had he not seen the label, he would have probably taken for large onions. The shoots were, for the most part, green, but here and there they had browned. One or two of the plants, those on the edge of the first bed, had yellowed, as if starved of water, even if the plants around them were still green.
